Iran Noah Pollak, commenting on the subject of Iran's threats regarding Israel,

"The Israelis must be having a good laugh at all of this. The only operational Iranian missile that can reach Israel is the Shahab-3, and most estimates place the number those in Iran at under 40 -- not to mention the fact that the Shahab-3 failed most of its flight tests. As for bombers, the Iranian air force is so archaic, and the Israeli air force so advanced, that an Iranian bombing mission would go down in history as one of the most absurdly conceived air campaigns in the history of warfare."
